Cisco GLC-TE 1000BASE-T Standard Copper SFP Transceiver Module

The Cisco GLC-TE is a Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver for Cisco switches, routers, and other compatible networking devices. It delivers reliable 1000BASE-T connectivity over standard copper Ethernet cables. Moreover, its compact SFP design makes installation quick and simple.

Reliable Gigabit Copper Connectivity

The Cisco GLC-TE supports the 1000BASE-T standard for Gigabit Ethernet communication. It works with Category 5e (Cat5e) and Category 6 (Cat6) copper cables. Therefore, it provides an easy way to add high-speed network connections without installing fibre cabling.

The module supports cable lengths of up to 100 metres (328 feet). As a result, it works well in offices, server rooms, and enterprise networks.

Easy Installation

Cisco designed the GLC-TE with a hot-swappable SFP form factor. Consequently, you can install or replace the module without turning off the connected device. This feature reduces downtime and makes network maintenance easier.

The built-in RJ-45 connector connects directly to standard Ethernet cables. In addition, the module supports auto-negotiation, so it automatically selects the best speed and duplex settings for the connected device.

Broad Compatibility

The Cisco GLC-TE works with Cisco networking equipment that supports SFP modules. However, you should always confirm compatibility before installation because supported modules vary between device models.
